AidanC 0 Posted September 5, 2014 People were looking a lot into RVW shirt change, with the two newly signed defenders being 12 and 15 and mcgrandles and vadis being the high 30''s I''m unsure how they pick the numbers ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chicken 0 Posted September 5, 2014 I wouldn''t read too much into shirt numbers. They can change easily enough.It meant more in the old days but means less now. The only time it really means something is when you have a high profile player with one of the traditionally much coveted numbers suddenly doesn''t have it anymore.Otherwise some players pick their own numbers that an be anything within reason.

percy varco 196 Posted September 6, 2014 Is it me or is the number 23 shirt usually worn by an uphimself knob at most clubs? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bill 1,788 Posted September 7, 2014 I believe the shirt numbers are drawn in the same way the FA Cup numbers used to be drawnhere(15 secs in).........the rest is well worth a watch, and shows little has changed in football Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
